IND vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction Today Match 48, Super 8: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Vice-Captain Choices, Playing XI – ICC T20 World Cup 2026

IND VS ZIM Match 48, Super 8, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: Just three weeks back, India were the team that were considered the top favorites to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. There were promos that India might even touch 300 runs in an innings during the ongoing tournament. But just one defeat, and the defending champions are on the edge of getting eliminated. South Africa thrashed India, and it was not just a defeat; it was the mirror shown to Team India, who looked overconfident at times.  

The decision of playing Washington Sundar over Axar Patel totally backfired. The poor form of Abhishek Sharma and the intent of Tilak Verma were not enough as India saw in-form Ishan Kishan getting out for a duck. Captain Suryakumar Yadav also looked scratchy with the bat. From taking three early wickets of South Africa to getting hammered by 76 runs, India had a nightmare kind of game.  

Their NRR suffered a big damage. They now need two extraordinary performances. India will lock horns with Zimbabwe in the next game. This contest will start at 7 PM IST on Thursday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Zimbabwe are coming off a 107-run defeat against West Indies. So, they are also in a similar position like India. Whoever loses here will be out. India need a win margin of at least more than 100 runs.

IND VS ZIM Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

On paper, there is no match between India and Zimbabwe. Though India lost the last game badly, it doesn’t mean they are bad. They are still one of the top sides in this format. But they need a confident performance. It looks like Abhishek and Tilak are struggling with the bat. That is putting pressure on other batters. 

So, can Sanju Samson come in? There are chances. With the ball, Varun had an off day, but he is expected to come back. India should also bring back Kuldeep Yadav to add more wicket-taking options. Zimbabwe will not be an easy opponent. But the way they lost the last game, their confidence would be shattered. Zimbabwe know that India need a big win, and they will be under pressure. That is where they can be very smart. So, they also have an outside chance. But considering all aspects, India will start this game as firm favorites.
